- More players to split the pie
- Any singular player (aside from QB) wont have enough of an impact to win a championship
- High injury rate meaning owners will fight tooth and nail to stay away from guaranteed contracts.
- Very short careers mean players are not willing to miss even 2 game checks to fight for a better agreement.
- Leaders of the NFLPA have been notoriously awful.

Great young RB’s are stuck in rookie contracts, by the time they get to earning the big bucks they get fleeced because 30 is too old


Same with every other position

Look people are going to come in here and talk about roster size, coaching staff pay, injury risk and all that other stuff

That is a smoke screen....

If the players were organized and disciplined enough to lockout for a long period REST ASSURED THERE WOULD BE CHANGES made

Including getting the franchise tag outta here...........

but we know that union is a complete joke so it is what it is.......

I will say this though.......people seem to think only 2-3 positions matter in football.......so maybe these dudes who are anxious to get their bells rung for relatively meagre pay should direct their athleticism to a different sport

Many of the reasons have already been listed, but another major reason is that there are no other major leagues in the world that play football. If the NBA had issues, players could go to Europe, South America, and Asia and find teams to pay them millions of dollars. NFL players do not have that option.

Less players to split the pie with
Nba players association goes to bat for the bag though ie the lockout of 2011
It’s actually because there’s a max a player can make.

Takeaway that and only the superstars will get paid big money. Everyone else will be around 5 mill a year or something
